Sinais

King Abdullah II: No, not at all.There are some elements in our society who are misguided individuals. Al -Zarqawi was a mass murderer, not only killing innocent people in Jordan, but also in Iraq and elsewhere. I cannot fathom how some people can make this man a hero. Forget about actions he has taken against people in uniform. There are people in Jordan, Iraq and some other countries who have suffered the loss of civilians, men, women and children. As for the Islamic movement, I believe that when we look at Jordan, the overwhelming majority are moderate, peace-loving people. I think the debate in our society now is that people have to agree on zero-tolerance to terrorism. We have to identify to everybody what terrorism is, and this is the message from Amman: We cannot put up with extremism any more. We want to reach out to the overwhelming majority of moderate Muslims throughout the world. And obviously, the message from Amman is extremely important -- not just for the Islamic world, but also in reaching out to Europe, because you have Muslim communities in your countries. The way I look at Muslims in Germany, for example, is that the country offers them protection and the same rights as any other community inside Germany, and in return, they need to abide to the loyalty of the state. They may be Muslims, but they should be proud Germans, too. This is the message.
